Dana White Gives His Take On If Ronda Rousey Should Retire From UFC

UFC President Dana White recently spoke with ESPN & was asked to share his thoughts on Ronda Rousey possibly walking away from the octagon. Outside of an Ellen Show appearance, Rousey has not been in the public eye since her loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.

“That’s not because she had to, that’s the way Ronda Rousey is built. Ronda Rousey is super competitive and doesn’t like to lose. I know she’s been criticized for that by a lot of people, but that’s just who she is and the way she is. I’ve never been one of those promoters that looks at; ‘Oh, imagine how much money I can make if Ronda Rousey comes back’ or the Chuck Liddells, all those guys. I’m actually the guy who, when somebody even hints at retiring, says: ‘I think you should retire.’ No matter how big of a star you are, once you’ve retired, you should probably stay retired and move on. Build that next chapter of your life.”
